What? No power?

Well, I'm sure we weren't the only ones who witnessed the sweet storm that rushed through Tuesday night. Seth called me around 6 to tell me the power was out at our house. No big surprise, it goes out all the time. The salon is only a block away, so I was very relieved that it didn't go out there.. I was trying to finish a VERY picky client (Mom - love your business :) ). Just kidding, nice teeth by the way! Anyways, I got home around 7, and Seth was over at the church (apparently playing dodgeball in the dark) and so I made Mom stick around with me until he got home. There were branches down everywhere, considering our trees have NEVER been trimmed and they are huge, we just consider high winds to be "natural pruning"! When Seth got home, I had all these great ideas of things to do. Since it was pouring, lightening and thundering, I thought it would be a perfect night for soup. Oh. Stove. No power. Then, it seemed like it would be fun to watch a scary movie. Oh. TV. No power. Well, maybe I'll finally update our blog. Oh. Computer. Curse. No power. We eventually settled for reading by lantern-light (perfect timing for Seth's b-day gift). I am making Seth read Twilight with me, I have already read it, and am half-way through the second book, but I like to read with Seth, and I know he'll like it, even if it's not the most manly book! The power eventually came back on, sometime around 11. It was a fun night. Made me very glad for electricity, but also grateful for the quiet time Seth and I can spend together.
